Celebrating 30 years of packaging innovation
Thirty years is a long time… but is has certainly flown by!
As GWP Group turns 30, the below timeline has been created to not only celebrate the achievements of the business, but to look back at how the company, the packaging industry and the UK itself has changed over the years.

In 1995 a new logistics site was opened, with another site added in Newbury in 1998, as the business continued to grow.
The business also saw significant growth in the early 2000s, with Eastman Packaging (now GWP Protective) and Corstat (GWP Conductive) becoming part of the business in 2004 and 2006 respectively.
2009 also saw the current branding introduced, with the name changed to GWP Group in order to better reflect the diverse nature of the packaging offered by the company.
